I tried this recipe when I found it online on the website.I tried this recipe when I found it online on the website. It was very easy to make, and it tasted delicious. I used my own left over sauce (the kind you cook for 6+ hrs.) as we do not like jar sauce. Served it to my friend with Tortellini salad and she loved it too. The chicken was tender and very flavorful!
